Re: ghc API in platforms with no GHCi

2010-01-20 Thread Thomas Schilling 
The byte code interpreter (which hlint uses) has its own dynamic
linker to load binaries.  I suppose the platforms that you listed this
is not supported and GHCi (or more precisely the part of GHCi that
requires the byte code interpreter) is not built.  Specifically, the
following modules are not built:

DsMeta
TcSplice
Convert
ByteCodeAsm
ByteCodeFFI
ByteCodeGen
ByteCodeInstr
ByteCodeItbls
ByteCodeLink
Debugger
LibFFI
Linker
ObjLink
RtClosureInspect

I wonder whether TemplateHaskell is supported on those platforms,
since that uses the interpreter, AFAIK.

Thanks for your answer.  If you're interested, I've changed hlint in
Debian to be built only in i386, amd64 and sparc.

Greetings.
